Lovely gem on the Chesham high street. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and a great choice of a breakfast menu and a lunch menu. I can highly recommend their smoothies. Dog friendly which is amazing. Indoor and outdoor seating. Not a huge place to eat at , but very popular so I would recommend you reserve a table if you want to visit on a Sunday for brunch. Toilets on site. Cannot fault this special find. Not far from the Chesham metropolitan tube line.Parking: The high street is pretty much a car free zone - so you will need to find parking elsewhere.

The food is supposed to be trendy but is weird. Burgers: Avocado on it and chicken. Breakfast asparagus on crumpets and worst off all, the hot chocolate is a warm chunk of Christmas Kalender chocolate that one has to turn around to dissolve it in a glass of mostly cream and barely any

Fantastic place to eat or just have coffee. Try the specials.. They are very nice.

Overpriced, undercooked, unfriendly.Went for brunch with my wife today and had another disappointing experience, I ordered the tavern breakfast, my wife the breakfast burrito, with some hot drinks.From previous experiences I knew to order my eggs fried, well done (otherwise they tend to arrive barely cooked), but what we didn’t expect was for the eggs in the breakfast burrito to be completely uncooked, translucent and sloppy like liquid (definitely not scrambled eggs as described). When I complained to tell them this, they treated it like a difference of opinion, and the waitress said ‘Okay, that’s fine’ and cleared it away. The point was, in fact, that it wasn’t fine, and that my wife didn’t finish her food and risked being made ill by poor food preparation.We paid our bill (weren’t offered any discount or refund), and then I asked to speak to the manager to explain that we didn’t actually think that this was ok. Initially a junior manager came out and did apologise, and since we had paid, offered us vouchers for a future visit, which we felt was decent customer service.A few minutes passed, during which time she had evidently spoken to the waitress and manager, after which she for some reason rescinded the voucher offer and had been overruled by the blonde senior waitress who we had taken issue with.Ultimately, the local waitressing staff are very nice and helpful, but the foreign management (who also own Brazils I believe) have very poor customer service ideas, and the chefs are substandard. Moreover, the prices there have become outrageous (£13 for a small fry up, £7.99 for a smoothie I think - the menu prices on their FB page are out of date, probably deliberately so).This is not a one off, we have found our last few visit quite fractious and difficult, and as we said upon leaving, this is not the only breakfast place in town, and we will not be coming again. Frankly, the Grocers in Amersham is far better for the money.

Great food. Slightly slow and expensive for the area.Parking: You can park locally in Waitrose, Sainsbury’s or the station car parlKid-friendliness: You can definitely take kids here

I have been going here for years. Used to be amazing. Unfortunately the staff have got worse, struggle to understand English, struggle to take orders and now don’t do takeaway by phone. Lost a regular customer as I will Never return!

Would highly recommend for breakfast or lunchWhat a lovely cafe. I live in Chesham. Magda runs a cracking place serving amazing food - breakfast, lunch or some alcohol, they have something for everyone.The Tavern All Day Breakfast absolutely rocks - without doubt the best breakfast in the local area! 2 slices of smoked bacon, sausage, roasted cherry tomatoes, a lovely field mushroom, cauliflower hash (I will never eat a potato hash brown again!), black pudding (yes, I know - but it is very tasty and is optional), baked beans and toast and eggs of your choice.Nothing beats sitting outside on a warm Sunday morning and having a Tavern breakfast with an oat milk latte or the Super Green healthy smoothie.They do AMAZING lunches too - lots of specials and Magda's burger is to die for - lots of sandwiches and healthy salad options tooGive it a go!Kid-friendliness: A good place to eat with the family

Very pleasant morning to sit outside in today's glorious sun, before it got too hot, watching Chesham life wandering past. Coffee arrived quickly and food, Eggs Benedict, shortly after. Nicely presented and tasty. A great way to start my day!

Lovely staff, nice atmosphere and good food. Prices are also reasonable. They offer gluten free toast but be vigilant as the kitchen sent the wrong toast last time.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free breadKid-friendliness: High chairs and kid friendly
